Choosing the right stone for your project.
Perth homes place unique demands on stone benchtops. Climate, UV exposure, and indoor–outdoor living influence how materials perform over time. Architects and designers assess stone surfaces based on long-term suitability, not short-term trends.
Natural Stone
Natural stone is selected primarily for its unique appearance. It requires careful thought of application and maintenance requirements.
Engineered Stone
Manufactured to achieve a consistent appearance. Performance depends on design and intended use, making specification important for suitability.
Sintered Stone
Crafted using high heat and pressure to create dense, stable surfaces. Specified where performance, consistency, and flexibility across applications matter.
What to look for when choosing the right stone surfaces for Perth projects.
Stone benchtops are assessed using a combination of performance, consistency, and application suitability criteria.
- Dimensional stability across large surface areas
- Resistance to heat, UV exposure, and staining
- Suitability for interior and exterior use
- Visual consistency between slabs and batches
- Long term maintenance requirements
Why architects and designers all across WA are turning to sintered stone.
Sintered stone is frequently specified in contemporary residential architecture due to its performance characteristics across a wide range of applications.
Its suitability for both interior and exterior use, resistance to heat and UV exposure, and consistency across large surfaces make it appropriate for projects where longevity and material reliability are priorities.
Specification decisions are typically driven by performance requirements rather than material trends.

Where are your slabs made?
Our slabs are proudly manufactured in Spain by Levantina, one of Europe’s most respected surface producers. With over 70 years of innovation, their commitment to precision, sustainability, and design excellence is unmatched.
Asetica is the exclusive supplier of the Techlam sintered stone range in NSW and WA — so when you choose us, you’re sourcing directly from the best.
How is sintered stone different than other materials?
Unlike traditional surfaces, sintered stone is formed by replicating the natural process of stone formation — but accelerated through science.
We start with 100% natural minerals, then apply intense heat and pressure to fuse them into a non-porous, ultra-durable slab.
The result? A surface that’s not only stunning, but:
- Resistant to heat, stains, scratches and UV
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
- From from resins and chemical binders
It’s nature, perfected by technology.
Can I use sintered stone outdoors?
Absolutely. It is the perfect surface for outdoors, here's why.
Techlam’s UV resistance and zero-porosity surface make it ideal for outdoor benchtops, facades, BBQ areas, and more. It won’t fade, warp, or deteriorate under sun, rain, or temperature shifts, making it the go-to surface for Australian exteriors.
